Workshop: Active Meditation – Third Eye Training & Colour Entrainment

VISUALISATION INTEGRATION

The mind can create any picture or film we desire by using the imagination. Through practice, we can manifest our visions into ideas and objectives that bring the imagined thoughts into the physical world. 

With all creative pursuits, it takes dedicated hard work to fully realise a concept beyond just the initial spark of an idea, to form an objective for its creation and establish a timeframe to work within and reach the desired goal. Visualisation integration is an integral part of the manifestation process that many will attempt without first establishing links between a world where dreams are conceived and a material realm where aspirations are realised.

The mind has two hemispheres that work simultaneously, collaboratively and independently. The left side deals with logic, language and judgement. The right side deals with creativity, emotion and perception.

Read the following list out loud and focus on the colour not the description.

One will notice where our left part of the brain will attempt to call out the colours as they are written, but will be in conflict with what the right side of the brain is perceiving. This is the conflict we will seek to resolve through techniques shared on visualisation – using emotions.

By focussing on how ‘feelings’ of colour evoke emotional responses to colour, we can align ourselves to colour perceptions imagined with sensations of colour detected on the skin and detected within the auric energy field. Through a process of imagination, confirmation, and feedback of perception with sensations experienced in the right hemisphere, we can begin to 'feel' colour without using the eyes and without categorising them through visual identification. By developing a practice through daily exercises, over time shape and form will follow.

1. Training the mind to sense colour

The first exercise we work on in third eye training, is to familiarise ourselves with colour. To say we 'familiarise', means we re-learn to feel the colours we've since 'badged' as words, which our left brain hemisphere has categorised so our right creative brain doesn't have to engage with the task.

Select some colourful household items to visualise, which fall within the 7 main colours of the electromagnetic rainbow spectrum. They can be any item that are clearly distinguished by their colour:

– Red: a ripe tomato or chilli pepper

– Orange: an orange or a carrot

– Yellow: the sun, banana, lemon or post-it note

– Green: cucumber, celery, a leaf or a fabric

– Blue: sky, plastic bottle top or light blue denim 

– Indigo: royal blue, a towel, sheet or other household item

– Violet: lavender flower, item of luxury

Bring these coloured household items into a meditation session.

If you have a decent blindfold, keep it close by. Ear defenders, ear buds or noise cancellation in-ear headphones are useful too. 

Lay out the items in front of you with a good space between each item so each can be viewed independently or better still, pick up and observe each item individually away from the other items. Study the colour, using the hands to ‘feel’ the item. It helps to have everything at room temperature (ie. no refrigerated items). Take a few minutes with each item and really get to know the feeling of holding each coloured item. When you've worked through each item, put own the items and close your eyes. If you have a blindfold, now is a good time to put the blindfold on. You may also want to have a pen and journal close by to make notes.

Close your eyes and imagine each item.

Say the item out loud each time as you command the item into your mind. Hold that vision of the coloured item one at a time.

In your mind's eye, bring vibrancy to each colour and attach a feeling to each one of the colours. 

Exercise 1
Sense how each colour makes you react emotionally. 

Exercise 2
Imagine how each item feels to the touch.

Exercise 3
Imagine what each colour smells like. 

Note: You may be compelled to stop between each item, remove your blindfold (or open the eyes), to write down notes. For the first time of doing this, it may work best to purely experience – this keeps us in the right brain hemisphere.

Experiencing colours while being blindfolded relies on our other senses like touch and pressure (temperature), plus emotional associations. There is also an ability to see 'b;lack light' on the UV spectrum and another type of vision that exists outside of the body, detected through sound frequency (sonar) and linked to higher X-ray and gamma rays, felt by sensitives. With practice, we can develop this extra sensory perception – like a 'super-power'! 

Use the force...
Tap into this extra sensory perception ability and connect to the messages via the limbic system (emotions). As a guide, the seven main colours might ‘feel’ like the following through sensory perception using the imagination:

Red – warm, sensual and charged. It might resemble the heat of an infrared lamp on the skin, the heat from an electric hob, the raised pulse of excitement, lips in a kiss or the texture of something slightly energising and coarse, like a warm brick or a woven fabric.

Orange – vibrant and lively, like the gentle warmth of a fire or the soft texture of a ripe fruit. It has a playful, slightly bouncy sensation, like squeezing a sponge or feeling soft sand underfoot.

Yellow – bright, cheerful, and lightweight, like the warmth of morning sunshine or the softness of a feather. It could be airy, like the feeling of a breeze or the tickle of light fabric.

Green – cool, fresh and grounding. Neutral. At peace. It might resemble the texture of grass, the coolness of smooth leaves, or the feeling of damp earth after rain.

Blue – calm, fluid, and expansive. It could resemble the sensation of cool water running over skin, a soft silk fabric, or the feeling of inhaling crisp, fresh air.

Indigo – mysterious, deep, and introspective. It might have the sensation of velvet or smooth stones, a slow-moving current, or the quiet hush of twilight.

Violet – luxurious, soft, and slightly cool. Like velvet. It could be a feeling of soft petals, the sensation of a deep, slow breath, or the weight of a thick, cozy blanket.

The above are just some ideas – it is best practice for each person to imagine and feel their own versions based on the real objects and colours. Writing these down in a journal using a pen/pencil (rather than on a digital device), as this really helps us to connect the mind and body with the imagination.

Colour Connection Activation
If you’ve gone ahead and purchased the cups and/or plastic sheets or printed out coloured cards (or you can use this online tool), we now look at linking the colours.

– Plastic sheets link here.
– Paper cups link here.
– Paper napkins link here.
– Paper plates link here.

With the blindfold off, pick up each of the coloured pencils/pens or cups or plastic sheets. See if you can sense the emotional connection to each one. Does the sensation of holding these colours evoke any thoughts or can you detect any attachment, repulsion or any kind of stickiness to any particular colour?

Now try with a blindfold on. Notice anything different?

When sensing colours with eyes closed, stickiness could be associated with textures, temperatures, or emotional weight. Here are a few ways that colours may feel sticky or silky. Notice the colours becoming cooler and silkier as we move through the colours of the rainbow and how that correlates with frequency wavelengths.

Red – Can feel like the tackiness of drying paint, warm honey, or thick syrup—intense and lingering.

Orange – May feel like the sticky juice of a ripe mango or citrus fruit on your fingers. Warm, playful, and slightly clinging.

Yellow – Could resemble the stickiness of melted candy or a sun-warmed rubbery surface, playful but slightly cloying.

Green – Might resemble the slippery feel of fresh aloe vera gel or dew-covered leaves.

Blue – Like cool water gliding over skin or a polished stone in your hand.

Indigo – Silky and flowing.

Purple or Violet – like liquid fabric or a smooth, wet petal.

Other colours may also feel cold or rough and sticky or cool and smooth:

Brown – Feels like the damp stickiness of tree sap or mud clinging to your skin—earthy, thick, and grounding.

Black – Can feel like oil or wet leather—deep, smooth, and almost frictionless.

Silver – Smooth and metallic, like running fingers over a sleek mirror or wet glass.

Exercise 4
With the blindfold on, pick up each of the coloured pencils/pens or cups or plastic sheets. See if you can sense the feeling of the colour as heat or friction, traction, tackiness or silky gliding. Holding you hands near the coloured items can give better readings. This occurs more strongly when we have activated the 'sixth sense' energy of the hands (Qi energy flow exercises). 

Now try again with the blindfold off.

When you hold the items or place your hands in front of the coloured items, can you feel any difference?

Exercise 5
Does the sensation of holding these coloured items evoke any thoughts?
Can you detect any attachment, repulsion – like a magnet? 
Can you detect any kind of stickiness with any particular colour?

Now try again with a blindfold on. Notice anything different?

Once practiced, these exercises usually take between 30 and 40 minutes. When practiced regularly, we will begin to notice subtle changes in the way the colours make us feel emotionally and physically. Sitting quietly with a blindfold on and meditating also helps us to create the space for intuitive powers to strengthen. 

As with all dedicated practices – performed daily, these rituals become habits and over time our inner vision, 'sixth sense' and intuitive powers will improve.
